When I finally made it to the set, I spent a lot of time doing damage control on The Magic Christian.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Magic really helped me.
I had a bunch of other projects that I worked really hard on after 'Twilight,' and the magic just didn't hit.
I had a magic kit. I never really followed through on it, but I had my phase of wanting to do it, sure.
I have always been interested in pushing magic forward.
If you want to talk about magic, the stuff that blows me away is the stuff that's done close up.
Over the years, God and St. Therese have kept me going no matter how bad things were.
I hope people remember me as a guy who brought magic to the people. You know, pushed the boundaries of wonder.
I struggle to learn by rote. I've had meltdowns on set. Which is embarrassing and shameful.
Once I'm on set, the only thing I'm really interested in is being in the room. Being present. And trusting that what I've done is sufficient, and I'm also trusting that I've also left room for magic.
You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.
